Warning: you still need to edit myorigin/mydestination/mynetworks parameter settings in /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf. See also http://www.postfix.org/faq.html for information about dialup sites or about sites inside a firewalled network. BTW: Check your /etc/aliases file and be sure to set up aliases that send mail for root and postmaster to a real person, then run /usr/local/bin/newaliases. Installed HTML documentation in /usr/local/share/doc/postfix ===> Generating temporary packing list Would you like to activate Postfix in /etc/mail/mailer.conf [n]? yes 8186 8309 If you have postfix configured in your /etc/mail/mailer.conf (answered yes to the previous question) and would like to enable postfix to start at boot time, please set these variables in your /etc/rc.conf file: sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" This will disable Sendmail completely. Also, you may wish to disable some Sendmail-specific daily maintenance routines in your /etc/periodic.conf file: daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" If you are using SASL, you need to make sure that postfix has access to read the sasldb file. This is accomplished by adding postfix to group cyrus and making the /usr/local/etc/sasldb* file(s) owned by group cyrus. ===> Compressing manual pages for postfix-1.1.10,1 ===> Registering installation for postfix-1.1.10,1 ===> SECURITY NOTE: This port has installed the following binaries which execute with increased privileges. 68554 180 -rwxr-sr-x 1 root maildrop 91470 27 Jun 23:26 /usr/local/sbin/postdrop 68555 160 -rwxr-sr-x 1 root maildrop 81004 27 Jun 23:26 /usr/local/sbin/postqueue If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security risk to the system.
